KFORCE Deltas Improve static and dynamic balance! The KFORCE Deltas are platforms that expand the possibilities of biomechanical analysis of athletic performance. The Deltas connect via Bluetooth® to the KFORCE app on a smartphone or tablet and can help coaches and therapists’ better structure an athlete's return to play. Thanks to their design, load capacity and high frequency, the Deltas measure physical performance in a versatile and fast way, unlike comparable products on the market. Versatile performance analysis Strength and speed analysis "Jump suite and functional assessments Team statistics Application examples for functional analyses Squats and pushups: power transfer to the floor & execution analysis Repeated jumps: speed, power, and fatigue Alternating jumps: speed, time in the air, reaction time left/right Jump analysis Countermovement Jump and Squat Jump protocols Evaluation of jump height Indicators for thrust, power, RFD (rate of force development) and right/left distribution during the impulse phase Protocols for Drop Jump Jump height after landing Force development during ground contact Reactive Strength Index Completed protocols Strength/Speed Spectrum Profile: Measure the optimal load for maximum strength, an innovative test for biomechanics, strength, and conditioning. Guide your training towards one of these two antagonistic components. Dynamic Strength Index (DSI): Determines the relationship between an athlete's ballistic maximum strength and their isometric maximum strength. This protocol includes the isometric maximum force of the mid-thigh pull (IMTP) and the ballistic maximum force during the Counter Movement Jump (CMJ). Unipodal CMJ / SJ: Highlighting left/right differences in thrust, power, performance, RDF, jump height. Product details Sampling frequency: 500 Hz 4 sensors per platform Comparison precision: 0.3 % Weight: 15 kg per platform Dimensions: 94 cm x 80 cm Scope of delivery: "right" and "left" platform
KFORCE Plates: To assess your lower limb strength and balance The KFORCE Plates are an innovative product for rehabilitating balance and assessing the symmetry and strength of the lower limb muscles. The KFORCE Plates are easy to install and connect. The KFORCE App protocols evaluate important factors for lower extremity balance and strength: left as well as right lower extremity loading, depth perception balance, centre of pressure, and max strength and symmetry. Each plate has an area of 320 x 160 mm and can support forces up to 300 kg (600 kg for both). Advantages The KFORCE Plates are equipped with an electronic pressure transducer and send real-time audio and visual biofeedback to your smartphone or tablet via the KFORCE App. This product takes advantage of new technologies with the Internet of Things and Rehab Games. This device turns rehabilitation into a game and gives important readings to the therapist or trainer. It also measures progress in lower limb strength and symmetry through its intuitive app. KFORCE Plates are lightweight and can be easily used by ambulatory professionals such as physiotherapists and personal trainers. Product details: Weight: 1.6 kg Dimensions: per plate 30 x 320 x 160 mm Radio range: up to 20 metres Max. Weight: 300 kg per plate, 600 kg for both Battery: 5 hours function with 45 min. charge Power supply: Li-Po battery 600 mAh Radiated power: Max. 5mW Wireless power transmission: 2.4 GHz band (Bluetooth low power) · Minimum smartphone and tablet requirements: Android 5.0+ and iOS 10.0+ Bluetooth (low power) 5'' screen The free basic app for this product only includes a limited version for assessment and management with patient profiles, standard assessments, and reports in PDF format. To make the most of the great advantage of the devices, we recommend that you get access to the PRO app or the PRO+ app.
Buy force plates from K-Active
But what are force plates? Force plates are controlled by an app and analyze and assess the distribution of force during static or dynamic movements as well as when standing. Static movements are performed during isometric training, for example, while jumps or squats are dynamic movements. They are equipped with an electronic pressure transducer and therefore serve as a kind of "myometer".
What can I use force plates for?
Force plates can analyze the following while standing or performing movements:
- Balance & equilibrium
- Force distribution (right/left)
- Load on the respective extremities
- Symmetry
- Maximum force
- Jump height for Counter Movement Jump & Squat Jump
You can also:
- Create individual profiles for all clients/patients
- Document progress over the long term
- Have protocols drawn up
Finally making therapy progress measurable
A huge advantage of app-controlled force plates: The software makes it possible for you to create individual profiles for all clients and patients. This function allows you to continuously document your therapy and illustrate your patients' progress using personalized protocols. You can also use the data to continuously adapt your therapy to your patients even more effectively. Force plates are therefore an excellent tool when it comes to achieving even better results in your therapy in the long term.
Whether in physiotherapy and occupational therapy or for sports analysis: the highly innovative plates can be a great help in rehabilitation after injuries or illnesses, to improve posture, to increase maximum strength or to compensate for muscular imbalances.
Who are force plates suitable for?
If the myometers are portable, cordless plates, force plates are not only suitable for therapy practices, hospitals or fitness studios: personal trainers, outpatient physiotherapists or sports clubs also benefit from the versatility of the force measurement devices.
